Re: full system save option 21 -- MIDRANGE-L

There are some *DTAARA in QSYS that you can look at to determine when the last SAVSYS was done, or even the last SAVSECDTA. Note that the QSAVSECDTA *DTAARA is updated when you run a SAVSYS or a SAVSECDTA. Check out the Save Date/Time on these objects, and they will tell you the last time any of the various saves (SAVCFG, SAVALLUSR, SAVIBM, SAVLIBALL, SAVSYS. etc) have been done. They do NOT tell you that everything was saved, but the last time the Save occurred. They are all *DTAARA in QSYS with the letter Q before the name of the Save command you are interested in.

One last note, when you said you were under the impression that a Save 21 saves everything, it does NOT save spool files.

If you are viewing a profile via WRKOBJ it won't show any saved data for a usrprf. I ran across this I think as far back as 3.1. SAVSECDTA doesn't update the saved date and time field that is displayed on the WRKOBJ cmd. I just did a test on both my 5.1 and 5.2 system with the same result.

Review the joblog from your last 21 for the completion msg x prof save 0 not saved. Also as a suggestion, Profiles only take a couple minutes to save. I would add the SAVSECDTA and SAVCFG cmds to your nightly backups. That way you always have a current stuff _____________________ Kirk Goins CCNA Systems Engineer, Manage Inc.

This question may seem somewhat basic but I have think we have a problem with the way we do full system backups. I have run the Option 21 from the save menu several times in the past year. Each time I was under the impression that everything was being saved. However, this past week I just happened to be looking one of my user's profiles and noticed that it had not been saved since 7/20/02. Upon further investigation I noticed that none of the profiles that have been created since 7/20/02 had been saved. Does anyone have any ideas why my profiles are not being picked up in the system save?
Not sure it matters, but we are running v5r1 and the latest PTF cum
pack.
